Beth, It would be best to prune those stems
right after the first set of flowers end. I have had this problem in the
past and have had it some this year. It is probably a nutrient
problem. I am wondering if all the rain and no sun has played a part in
it this year. Kathy in Vt. From:

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Beth Spaugh I have heirloom tomatoes in a hoophouse,
pruned to a single or double stem. The shoots that the flowers bloom on/fruit
develop on become large stems and continue to grow, putting on more
flowers/fruits. Do ya’ll trim these after the first fruits or let them
develop and trellis them also? Any comparison of their productivity with the
main stem’s productivity. I have trimmed them in the past, but if
I’m not right on top of weekly trimming, they grow fast enough to flower
and I hate to cut off anything with a flower on it. Thank you. Beth Spaugh |
